Inquiry Learning

All learning is related to understanding and practicing skills related to a concept, sometimes we become distracted in the content that surrounds the concept when it is presented.

The key to any inquiry is to recognise the concept you are exploring and consistently check your learning back to this concept. As learners we can be distracted by our personal interest paths and bias’s. These distractions can lead us deeper into understanding the concept, but often lead us away if we don’t remain focused.

C the Inquiry is a process that provides the learner with a framework to explore a concept; big or small. It is broken down into 5 key areas:

Connect
Clarify
Combine
Create
Communicate

The sixth and seventh unwritten C’s are Courage and Commitment.
